THE STAR WARS Last Jedi teaser trailer revealed that Luke wants the Jedi to end. Is this proof he is a Grey Jedi or turning into a Sith in the footsteps of Darth Plagueis? Either way, surely this makes him the Chosen One?

It seems like that the ancient tome shown in the teaser is The Journal of The Whills, which holds the history of the Force.

A famous passage was used in the Force Awakens novelisation.

It says: "First comes the day, the comes the night. After the Darkness shines through the Light. The difference, they say, is only made right by the resolving of Grey through refined Jedi sight."

The Grey Jedi believed that the Jedi Order was too limited and closed to other parts of the Force.

The teaser also featured the voice of Yoda whispering what sounds like a reference to the Force: "Surrounds us, binds us."

This links to another passage in the Journal of the Whills which says: "The Force binds us all from a certai point of view."

We also know that Luke was helped by Lor San Tekka, who we saw meet Poe before being killed by Kylo Ren in the opening scenes of The Force Awakens. Lor was a member of the Church of the Force and was helping Luke discover about the origins of the Jedi.

What he has doubtlessly discovered is that the Jedi are just as big an obstacle as the Sith to restoring balance to the Force.

Worryingly, this is also what Palpatine's master had also come to believe.

Star Wars Reading Club says: "Plagueis had come to view the Jedi as no longer as servants of the will of the Force but rather as servants to the Republic and their own dogma. The Jedi had become corrupted by themselves and perverted the the Force by being so singularly focussed on only the Light and so closed-minded about the Dark."

Luke' study of the ancient Church, plus the Journal of the Whills, combined with his own history and that of his father can only lead him to one conclusion.

To restore balance to the Force, the Jedi must end. A new (or ancient) way of using The Force must be found.
